It
was revealed today in Cannes that Katee Sackhoff (“Oculus,” “Riddick,”
“Battlestar Galactica”) will star in the supernatural horror film “Don’t Knock
Twice,” directed by Caradog James and being sold in Cannes by Content
Media.

In
the vein of “Candyman” meets “The Ring,” “Don’t Knock Twice” is based on
a psychologically terrifying urban legend. To save her estranged
daughter, a guilt-ridden mother must uncover the terrifying truth behind the
urban legend of a vengeful, demonic witch.

The
film is being produced by Red & Black Films' John Giwa-Amu (“The Machine,”
“The Call Up”) and Seymour Films' Claire Moorsom. Content’s President of Film,
Jamie Carmichael, serves as Executive Producer.

Principal
photography will commence in July in the UK.

The
film marks a re-teaming between Content Media and Caradog James and his
award-winning, UK based Red & Black Films production banner. They first
partnered together on the cult sci-fi action thriller“The Machine.”

Distributors
worldwide will be introduced the project in Cannes by Jamie Carmichael and
Content’s Head of Sales, Harry White.

Carmichael
said: “Caradog has proven himself to be a very dynamic and innovative director,
and clearly Katee brings a ton of experience and credibility to this genre too
– they’re going to make a fantastic team.”

“After
the worldwide success of ‘The Machine’ we’re excited to be traveling this
journey with Content again and thrilled to have landed Katee for our leading
lady,” said Giwa-Amu and James.
